DARE Training: Teaching Educators How to Revise Internal Medicine Residency Lectures by Using an Anti-racism Framework

Date of Review: January, 2025

In this resource, internal medicine residents and faculty are taught to facilitate an anti-racism educational series to the internal medicine residents. The education is focused on combating racism and bias in lectures that are given to the internal medicine residency program. They used Knowles’ self-directed learning framework and Bandura’s social cognitive theory to craft this workshop of materials. All materials used were in the supplemental index and are very specific and useful and adaptable. People who want to be trained in giving anti-racism lectures need to do a pre/post survey, an asynchronous module and then some case based learning. The training takes around ~ 1 hour to do and it is not time intensive. Even though it is geared towards internal medicine, all the resources can be adapted to any discipline and it is relevant and useful to trainees and faculty. —Ayah El-khatib, MD, NCEAS
